anyone here from Iceland (or Denmark, Sweden, Norway...)? Years ago I went to a beautiful choir concert in Reykjavík. I've tried to identify the songs but wasn't successful at all. If anyone here can help or identify some lyrics that would be so awesome.

I think Bryon Davis mentioned before that Varese at one point was close to releasing the film recording of Brainstorm, but was stopped by Robert Townson. So take that as evidence that the original tracks survive
why would he have stopped that? :/

Could it be ALIENS?
that would be so great and more than justified. Not necessarily because of the performance of the LSO but just in technical terms… Horner wasn't satisfied with the facilities at Abbey Road Studio:
"The facilities were 30 years old. They were barely able to patch in synthesizers much less be able to do some of the things I wanted to do electronically. I mean, they were so behind the times. The mixer, who is brilliant in Star Wars, was out of his league with this kind of a movie which needed all kind of modern recording techniques."

it's really entertaining and interesting. While speaking about Troy Horner spares no criticism on Wolfgang Petersen either.
"Gabriel and Wolfgang made the score together. 50/50. So what happens is they've had the score from god in the movie from god." -

So the Omni guys might have transcribed that cue from the audio themselves rather than having access to a handwritten version to start from
Kind of like how they made a version of the tracked music used instead of most of "Goodbye" for the bookI guess so, yeah!

Interesting that Horner wrote the scene for Martin in Liz's apartment as part of the long cue for him in Cosmo's Office, since they are separated in the film by the unscored scene of him being dumped out of the car in the street.
I don't think Horner wrote it as one cue, it's just the way it's represented in the Omni print. In the handwritten score the apartment scene is not part of the long Cosmo cue, in fact it's not there at all, probably because it's just piano and synths.

That reminds me: Is the 2 minutes of music added to the end of "Too Many Secrets (Extended Version)" that wasn't in "Too Many Secrets" (OST track) included as part of "5M1 Scrabble & Black Box Secrets" in the Omni book? Or is that music not in the book at all?
it's not in the book at all and can't be find in the leaked handwritten score either. I've been wondering about that extra part anyway, since it's not in the film, IIRC. And to me it sounds different and more electronic (piano and claves) than the part before.
19 minutes ago, Jay said:Same question for the 2 1/2 minutes of music added to the end of "Cosmo... Old Friend (Film Version)" that wasn't in "Cosmo... Old Friend" (OST track)... is that a part of "7M1 Cosmo's Office" in the Omni book, or just not in the book?
yeah it's in the book, pp. 94-95.

it's my absolute favorite next to Titanic and it really defined so much of his work after Sneakers.
I bought the written score and it was so interesting to read along and to discover so many things, e.g. the use of several pianos and them playing the bass riffs unisono – if you know about that, you can hear it, too. -

This is a case where I don't know what they sound like in the film. So I don't know what they are "supposed" to sound like.
well the complete score has already beenfloating around for a while, that‘s why I noticed it in the first place

not a fan of the decision to combine three cues and build the single track Bishop Goes To NSA / Surveillance / Black Box. Especially the first cue deserves a proper ending.

Does anybody know why the James Horner Film Music website doesn't have any articles about any of the expansions since Jumanji and Willow from the middle of 2022?
http://jameshorner-filmmusic.com/
No articles for:
Deadly Blessing (Intrada)
Gorky Park (LLL)
Windtalkers (Intrada)
Humanoids from the Deep (Intrada)
Battle Beyond The Stars (Intrada)
Mask of Zorro (LLL)
Sneakers (LLL)
Dad (Quartet)
yet. Huh.
I was wondering, too. But a few days ago they published a short summary of the latest releases (except Dad).

I couldn't find anything in the booklet about who sang Stick With Me and the Never Song...?!

it's fascinating to think that Stravinsky was only 58 years old when Fantasia was released.

Has there been any discussion about the opening 45 seconds of "Into the L.E.M. (Film Version)" and why that section sounds like there is some strange phasing/microphone overlap going on? I didn't notice it until I listened with headphones and compared it to the regular album version of the same cue.
the strings (violas only here) are doubled by the trumpet, that gives it a certain snarky/sizzling sound. Maybe that is what you mean or maybe this adds to the effect you described.
